Where does this unmitigated malarkey emanate from??
Why would anybody, anywhere, any time, place a microphone over the ear? Microphones are for picking up sounds. What would you get out of that? What an ear sounds like??
NO ONE puts a microphone in an ear. EVER.
And if you do wear a wireless mic for the purpose of amplification and/or recording -- it never ever goes anywhere near the ear. That would NOT work. At the best you'd get a hollow, distant muddy voice. More likely you'd get tremendous howls of feedback.
Hey dumbass, the microphone isn't in his ear.
Wireless Microphone available in headset lapel or system kits
Educate yourself.....or stay stupid.
Then WHY DID YOU JUST SAY IT WAS, DUMBASS???
And I quote, even though it's already sitting plainly above:
Cruz was standing on an open stage giving his announcement speech without a podium, and was equipped with a wireless microphone that was attached to his right ear
That's YOUR post, stupid. Verbatim.
You DO NOT put a microphone in somebody's ear, Dipshit. Microphones receive; monitors send.
This is the most basic elementary stuff of my business, Dumbass. Don't sit on this internet, say somethig stupid and then claim it came from me. It's already on the record.
ATTACHED TO NOT IN HIS EAR!!
Damn, you people are stupid.
You DO NOT attach a microphone to an ear. EVER. It has no possible function there.
Who the fuck do you know who talks out of their ear??
ANY kind of microphone goes in FRONT OF THE MOUTH. That is the ONLY WAY IT CAN WORK.
Jesus Christ on a Cracker dood, I've been working with these things since LBJ. You're not going to tell me my own business.
The only possible involvement of an ear with a mic is to hang a harness OVER the ear which in turn would hold a headset mic, commonly called a "Madonna mic" after that artist was seen a lot making use of it for freedom of movement while she dances. And in that event the mic is STILL in front of the mouth, WHERE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS DICTATE IT HAS TO BE!
But that is not what the speaker pictured is wearing. A headset mic harness does nothing more with the ear than hang on it like a pair of thin glasses. What's in this picture of Cruz is an in-ear monitor. Its job is to FEED audio INTO the ear. Its got an amplifier and transducer (speaker) in that box just like a hearing aid. Putting a microphone on, or in, an ear would produce NOTHING.
In-ear monitor in singer's ear on left; microphone on right. IN FRONT of the mouth.
What a revelation! Ears are used for hearing! WHO KNEW.

Countryman's a fine mic. Used it many times, fragile and expensive but sounds good.
See that yellowish ball IN FRONT OF THE MOUTH?
THAT IS THE WNDSCREEN -- FITTED OVER THE MIC.
Because THAT is the only place a mic WORKS.
DUMBASS.
See "Subminiature capsule", lower right?
...THAT'S THE MIC.
And this is NOT what the speaker in the photo is wearing.
